Scared of anesthesia - BZ free for 35 days

[[Ap...]]

I'm BZ free 35 days after 4 years 11 months of tapering hell and 3x I've gone through WDs. What do you do if you need surgery? I can't do this torture again. I really cannot.

 

I've been prescribed every kind of BZ except Valium then yanked off. I went cold turkey on Xanax and almost blew my brains out. Only time I've ever come close in my life. They told me the WDs we're mental illness and i believed. They called it an "episode." Ignorant jerks ) Then I went cold turkey on Clonazepam due to doctor's advice and I should have been hospitalized. Now I just stepped off a Clonazepam taper. This is 3x.

 

What do you do if you need surgery??? Help. I can't do this again.

Congrats Apollomy on being benzo free, well done!  The topic of anesthesia somes up here quite often and from what I've seen, many of the members do okay with it.  Are you facing a surgery at present?
